Projects

My materials and methods range from acrylic and oil on canvas to traditional cut and paste collage. I experiment with a variety of media and often use found objects in my work.

	Geo-Portraits I take inspiration from world history, geography, and questions of identity. This project examines lines, both literal and symbolic. The lines we draw around ourselves and others are often arbitrary, imaginary, and ephemeral, yet they define our physical location, national affiliation, and intellectual or cultural identity.

	Mixed Media My travels and heritage shape a view of the world as continual intersections between cultures. In these mixed media artworks constructed from photographs, maps, text, and other materials, I often deconstruct and reassemble 2 in. x 2 in. slide mounts—”cells” of memories—into reflections of personal experiences.
